I’ve got a couple of spots that hunt great from the ground, but dang if my keyster doesn’t go numb. The Millenium Tree Seat is a fine and dandy build, but I do get some numb butt. Wondering if anyone has an option they like where you are not on a timer, but can sit as long as you want. Thanks

I have always used a wrist release. How did I use it? I punched it. Not squeezed. I knew I shouldn’t but oldd habits are hard to break. I did ok but very inconsistent. I them tried thumb triggers firing the same way. Total failure. A couple weeks ago I while at a thursday evening league, I tried a hinge (for the first time). A few days later I bought a Trufire Sear. So very different from a wrist release but I love this one. I have been doing good at firing it the proper way. Been letting it surprise fire during my float instead of trying to control the whole process.

I cant believe the time wasted not shooting right. It is weird that to get more control, you have to not fight to control. Let it happen and it wwill happen. I know I have a wa ys to go, but I look forward to this new journey. This is my first scorecard with this release. We only shot 6 ends of a 5 spot. The 5th end I jerked a couple times. (Still learning) but so far I am happy considering I just switched so much at once.

Lost our local range a couple months back and have been struggling to find a new place we can afford. We do have a local shop that we can shoot at, but he has leagues and things going most nights and is not open on Sundays. Boy, I did not realize how nice it was to have a key to our old range to go shoot whenever I got the notion.

I’ve been asked by my archery club coaches to put together a warm up program for our junior archers. The reasoning behind the request is to prepare the archers for their shooting sessions and of course reduce the potential risk of injury. To prepare the program, I’ve been looking through the published medical literature to identify any specific warm up activities and their effectiveness in reducing injury. There’s a conflict of opinion within the medical literature as to the effectiveness of warm ups but there’s a growing consensus that sport specific warm up exercises improve performance.
So, although there may not be definitive evidence to support the use of warm ups to prevent injury, there’s an accepted conventional wisdon that warm ups have no negative connotations.
The question I’d like to ask here is, …. do you warm up before shooting?, if you do, what benefit to you derive from it? If you don’t warm up, I’d like to ask why not?
Be interested in your comments.

The iconic monarch of the North Woods is dying at an alarming rate. Is it climate change, a brain-piercing parasite, or is something else to blame?

Five months into the mortality study, 92 of the 107 moose collared back in January remain. Wolves killed five, not including #075 and one other moose that died from an apparent attack and subsequent infections. (Researchers think that wolves cause fewer than 10 percent of adult moose deaths overall each year, but the predators have their greatest success in late winter, when moose are weakened by dwindling fat stores and hindered by deep or crust-covered snow.) Winter ticks drained the blood from three (which can cause anemia and fluid buildup around the heart), brainworm excavated the brain and eye of another, and as-yet-undetermined causes took another four. But none of those causes of death tell the full story. It will take several years of data collection for the researchers to tease out patterns of co-infection by parasites and disease and correlations with temperature and habitat changes due to climate change.

.

So, 15 moose were killed. 7 of them were killed by wolves. That’s 47% of the moose being killed by wolves, not 10%.

So, nearly 50% of the moose are killed by wolves…..but that can’t be the problem. Wut?
